Racism...Throw It Back In Their Faces! We Are For All Americans! End It Now!
If anyone hasn't been able to tell, I have of lately, been extremely pre-occupied with the racism cry against Tea Partiers. Why? Because I am a history buff. A history factualist. Because I know what has happened with racism in the history of this country and what is happening now with the accusations. Because like myself Tea Partiers are the antithesis of racist – a collection of logical, freedom-loving quasi-libertarians, who care more about the lives their children will have than their own and who could care less about anyone’s color or background. Nevertheless, self-described liberals, progressives, and Democrats persist in telling everyone that the Tea Party Movement is racist, despite the fact they have yet to produce one iota of concrete evidence to prove this absurd point.
So why cry racist when no racist incidences have happened? Why are the Democrats and the liberals spewing racism like the nozzle of a boiling tea pot (No pun intended)? The most popular explanation is their lever on political power. With 99 percent of African-Americans and 77 percent of Jewish-Americans (excuse the reactionary hyphens), not to mention a huge percentage of Hispanic-Americans, voting their way, what’s not to like? Keep America divided according to race and keep getting elected.
Putting it bluntly, the Democratic Party clings to racism because they are out of ideas. They have nothing else to say. At this point, almost everyone acknowledges liberal policies don’t work and the Dems have little they can do but call names. This is even more true of socialism, a system which has consistently shown itself to be the initial ramp on an inexorable glide path to totalitarianism. Progressivism, liberalism, call it what you will, has completely lost its appeal to the majority of Americans on an ideological level. So what’s a poor Dem to do? Wave the white flag? NO. They Cry racism!
A great contribution the Tea Party Movement could make, perhaps its greatest contribution – would be to truly smash racism. Nowadays, hyphenated racial groups do the opposite. They have become inherently reactionary, seeking to divide us as Americans for their own advantage. That preserves racism in perpetuity, just as the American people themselves are fed up with it and long since ready to move on. In effect, the Democratic Party has inadvertently turned itself into the party of racism by depending upon these vested interests to maintain power. The Tea Party Movement could overturn this. That would be truly revolutionary.
Yes....I am obsessed with this. Racism must die. Hear that! MUST DIE! The Democrats and Liberals have used it to divide this country far too long. There isn't one single, God fearing, family loving, Constitutional believing, personal rights, Tea Partier I know that ever considers race. It is the Democrats!
The Democrats brought it up. I hear many people say "just let it go" but I say now is the time to throw it back in their faces. Put the facts about racism and who is really responsible out there. Let the people that support these hypocrites know who is really on their side. On the side of all people. All AMERICANS. I believe that it is the duty of Tea Partiers everywhere not to only go into those areas they know they can win in November but to go into those areas where they say we can't win. In Georgia that is District's 2, 13, 5, 4. They say we can not win there. Why? Because people in those districts believe what the Dems say. Because people there have lived off of Government for so long that they do not know that there is better way. The Dems don't want them to.
It is the best thing for all of us. We may never kill racism. There will always be jerks in this world, but we can stop the cry that keeps a division in this country. The division that allows the loss of freedom. The division that allows socialism.
I know we are just and right in our goals. We must convince those that oppose us that this is in the best interest of us all. We must educate them. For God, For Country, and most of all for our children and their future.

In Support Of Senator Preston Smith (R-52)
In Support Of
Senator Preston Smith (R-52)
A Resolution
April 14, 2010
Submitted To: Lieutenant Governor Casey Cagle
Members of the General Assembly
Appropriate Media
The Floyd County Republican Party
The Bartow County Republican Party
The Gordon County Republican Party
Tea Party Patriots
And other interested parties
Sponsors: Many Activists of Rome/Floyd GA TEA Party 2010
Lieutenant Governor Casey Cagle et al
WHEREAS; State Senator Preston Smith (R-52 Floyd, Bartow, and Gordon) has served four terms in the Senate of Georgia representing the needs of his constituents, fulfilling his pledged commitments to them, and providing leadership in the Senate and throughout the governmental arena with his unswerving support for the United States Constitution, limited government, fiscal responsibility, and the free market.
WHEREAS; Senator Smith’s long and meritorious service has been marked by commitment to conservative principles and appreciation of, and by, his constituents.
WHEREAS; Senator Smith was recently called upon to vote for or against HB 307 and chose to vote his principled conviction, and constituent pledged commitment, against the imposed “hospital bed tax.” Senator Smith was one of three Republican Senator’s voting against the tax increase, a position that is the very foundation of conservative values.
WHEREAS; In retribution for his refusal to go along with Lt. Governor Cagle and other Senate leadership and vote for the tax increase, his role as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary was stripped away from him.
WHEREAS; Senator Smith asks, “Of what purpose is it to have a majority if you abandon the very principles for which the voters entrusted that majority to you? If the Republican Majority is going to start down the road towards raising taxes and even punishing their more conservative members who refuse to march like lemmings off that cliff, then why should Georgian’s trust them any longer to lead?” This raw exercise of power was used to crush Senator Smith.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT:
RESOLVED; that the Rome/Floyd GA TEA Party 2010 express the strongest and most unequivocal support for Senator Preston Smith; laud his stand for conservative principles; appreciate his leadership in the General Assembly; and appreciate his continuing service and support of his constituents.
RESOLVED; that we, the aforementioned, strongly express our disappointment with, and dismay of, the exercise of political power by the Senate leadership including Lt. Governor Casey Cagle and Senators Tommie Williams and Chip Rogers. We believe this display of retribution is uncalled for, is an affront to the very values, dignity, and respectful behavior all citizens of Georgia expect.
RESOLVED; that the aforementioned Senate leadership is hereby rebuked for their actions against Senator Smith for their attempts to silence differing opinions and commitment to principle.
RESOLVED; that we request the Senate leadership, Lt. Governor Cagle specifically, issue a public apology to Senator Smith, and all citizens of Georgia for their behavior and unconscionable assault on Senator Smith and the process of governance.
RESOLVED; further that we, the aforementioned, demand that Senator Smith be returned to his rightful role as Chairman, Senate Judiciary Committee.
Submitted respectfully for and by:
Don Black Hoyt Brown

In Response To Comments and Emails About "A Letter From NBRA Chairman Francis Rice" Post
I have received several emails and a couple of comments on the blog posting " A Letter From NBRA Chairman Francis Rice".

The question within all of these is basically the same. How did the Republican party...the party that was formed out of one common belief...Constitutional Law...a belief that all men are created equal...that's at the time of it's conception freeing the slaves and allowing them to be equal to all Americans was it's number one goal....How is it that they are now perceived the bad guys? The racist? And now that so many Constitutionalists are forming into the Tea Parties they too are unjustly obtaining this label. How did this happen? I have spent countless hours researching the subject. It will be a huge part on a new blog I am working on promoting minority participation into the Constitutional movement. Without listing the numerous resources I have used I have chosen one link that gives a good basic insight to this question. I urge you to read it.
